Looking to bounce back. Last start she was <strong>12<sup>th<\/sup> in the G1 Vicky Oaks 12.5F behind Mount Tokachi (1<sup>st<\/sup>) and many others here<\/strong>. Sat 9<sup>th<\/sup> around 16 lengths from the early lead.

Moved to 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, still over 7 lengths off them on the turn but finished full of running to race away and win by 6 lengths with an SP of 92. Prior to that she won her maiden over 12F. Sat back in 5<sup>th<\/sup> early, around 5.5 lengths from the lead before sprinting quickly on the turn and racing away the last furlong to win by 5 lengths with an SP of 97. A bridge to far last time in the Vicky Oaks and could be the same here. More seasoned horses here and think she will struggle to place. Outside chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. 51112 \u2013 <strong>Tap Coder<\/strong> (Tapit) Owned by slowrollelite1 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 C.

Last start she was <strong>2<sup>nd<\/sup> in the G1 Vicky Oaks 12.5F behind Mount Tokachi (1<sup>st<\/sup>).<\/strong> Sat 14<sup>th<\/sup> around 21 lengths from the early lead.

Prior to that she won a 12F Dirt Allowance. Sat 7<sup>th<\/sup> over 9 lengths from the lead. Moved up strongly on the turn and raced clear the last furlong to win by nearly 3 lengths with an SP of 104. Versatile filly but seems a monster on the turf. Her powerful finishing burst is breathtaking to say the least. The 11F might be to short fer her but she will be finishing very strongly. Big chance if the speed is on from the get-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. 12415 \u2013 <strong>Nur<\/strong> (Shamardal) Owned by darkhuntera0 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 T.

Last start she was <strong>7<sup>th<\/sup> in the A.P Swamp Turf Filly Route 9F<\/strong>. Sat 4<sup>th<\/sup> around 7.5 lengths from the lead. Dropped to 5<sup>th<\/sup>, around 8.5 lengths off them on the turn and only battled the last furlong, beaten 8 lengths with an SP of 93.

Dropped to 14<sup>th<\/sup> around 13 lengths off them on the turn and faded the last furlong to be beaten 20 lengths with an SP of 81. Mixing surfaces and distances to try and improve but she has been beaten 60 lengths her last 4 starts and can\u2019t see her being a threat here. Passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. 22165 \u2013 <strong>Madam Frank<\/strong> (Frankel) Owned by punter34 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 T.

Moved to 4<sup>th<\/sup> around 4 lengths off them on the turn but couldn\u2019t reel in the winner, beaten 1.5 lengths with an SP of 105. Certainly, been around the mark of late and beaten by a couple of good one\u2019s last start. Chance with improvement but hard to see her turning the tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. 84180 \u2013 <strong>Bronze Bomber<\/strong> (More Than Ready) Owned by desertdog0 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 P.

Last start she was <strong>11<sup>th<\/sup> in the G1 Vicky Oaks 12.5F<\/strong>. She sat 11<sup>th<\/sup> around 19.5 lengths from the early lead. She dropped to 14<sup>th<\/sup> around 19.5 lengths from them on the turn and passed a few tired horses late, beaten nearly 15 lengths with an SP of 96.

Moved to 6<sup>th<\/sup>, still over 15 lengths off them on the turn and rushed home the last furlong, beaten just over 5 lengths with an SP of 98. Don\u2019t know what\u2019s happened her last 2 starts as she has been beaten a combined 34 lengths. If she can recapture her form from the Irish Oak\u2019s she could well blow them away. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. 41214 \u2013 <strong>Mentoe<\/strong> (Galileo) Owned by woette2 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 E C Doyle 6\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3yo filly with nice record of 12-4-3-1 and banking $286K.

Sat well back early and still over 7 lengths off them on the turn before running home strongly to win by a length with an SP of 106. Her win over this distance in the Allowance on times, puts her right in this race. Has to be given a chance in this tough race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. 11111 \u2013 <strong>Mount Tokachi<\/strong> (Too Darn Hot) Owned by xpansion0 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 D.

Last start she <strong>won the G1 Vicky Oaks 12.5F<\/strong>. Sat 2<sup>nd<\/sup> around 3 lengths from the early lead. Still 2<sup>nd<\/sup> only 1 length off them on the turn and sprinted well the last furlong to win by nearly 2 lengths with an SP of 107. Prior to that she won a 12.5F Allowance.

Led early and on the turn was 1.5 lengths clear of the field. Kicked away the last furlong to win by 2.5 lengths with an SP of 94. Had been toying with her rivals before her last start G1 victory at big odds. Filly who is on the up and can lead or stalk and should be in the finish. Big chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. 11307 \u2013 <strong>National Attack<\/strong> (National Defense) Owned by ozzie \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M.

Last start she was <strong>7<sup>th<\/sup> in the G1 Breeder\u2019s Bowl F &amp; M Turf 11F<\/strong>. Sat 10<sup>th<\/sup> around 13 lengths from the early lead.

Took over on the turn by nearly 4 lengths and stayed on well to win by \u00bd length with an SP of 105. Probably forgive her last two as one was against older horses and the other short of her best distance. If she can recapture her form from the French Diana, then she has a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. 23242 \u2013 <strong>Kepler XII Duo<\/strong> (Galileo) Owned by marianus \u2013 Jockey \u2013 W.

Still 2<sup>nd<\/sup> around 5 lengths off them on the turn and battled on well to the line, beaten just under 5 lengths with an SP of 91. She has been thereabouts of late and stalks the pace. Not sure she has the brilliance to win but can certainly be in the minor money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11. 21111 \u2013 <strong>Kinda Sexy<\/strong> (Fastnet Rock) Owned by gavineades \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M.

Prior to that she won a 10F Allowance. Sat 4<sup>th<\/sup> early before taking over on the turn and racing clear the last furlong to win by just under 3 lengths with an SP of 91. Trainer has been patient with her and paying dividends. She looks a progressive filly, and the trip is fine. Doesn\u2019t win pretty but just keeps grinding and she should be in the finish. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12. 11113 \u2013 <strong>Another Lifetime<\/strong> (Medaglio D\u2019Oro) Owned by sansa \u2013 Jockey \u2013 D.

Led all the way, maintaining over 2 length lead throughout with an SP of 107. Won all 3 starts at the distance and she should lead as she has terrific pace. Can she hold off the challengers is the question? She will be tough to get past. Big chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">13. 11500 \u2013 <strong>Bondi Iceberger<\/strong> (Bondi) Owned by superfecta \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M.

Sat 3<sup>rd<\/sup> early before taking over on the turn by 1.5 lengths. Couldn\u2019t hold off the winner, going down by \u00bd a length with an SP of 103. Really nice filly who has been taken along slowly by her trainer. Last start win over this distance was super impressive. Should stalk the speed and she could challenge the top few here.
